Philadelphia indie band Hop Along released their third studio album Bark Your Head Off, Dog early last month and quickly became a favorite amongst critics for its rich songcrafting and emotional resonancy. "How Simple" is one of the album's early, ear-catching singles. For the video for the song, directed by Derrick Belcham, frontwoman Frances Quinlan dances exuberantly throughout her house with a simple spotlight on her. “This is my first time appearing in a music video; in which case I decided to do something that felt risky to me. I told myself that I’ve danced through my own house solo enough times to do an alright job of it in front of a camera,” Quinlan said in a statement. “All that being said, I’m still surprised that this piece came to be. I wasn’t sure I had it in me to do it. Derrick did an excellent job directing, he made it a lot easier for me to access that part of myself and made it all look dreamy in a way that I couldn’t have achieved otherwise.” Hop Along will play Neumos on Sunday, August 12 with fellow Philly band Thin Lips,
